Among the arrests were four people suspected of robbery, damage to infrastructure, and being in possession of stolen property.
Teams from passenger rail agency Prasa also attended 27 court cases in various magistrate courts to see that suspects are brought to book.
A convicted cable thief received a 12-year sentence suspended for six years last week after pleading guilty. "As for the other court cases, all other suspects were denied bail and will remain in custody until their next appearance," the city said in a statement. Metrorail Western Cape regional manager Richard Walker added:"The majority of suspects pleaded guilty as a result of the solid evidence provided by Prasa investigators. The arrests and convictions contribute to the improved predictability of the train service and the reduction of crime on trains and at stations."
